Old Maids.

In the State of Massachusetts
alone there are seventy-siX thou
sand more females than males.
Were this the only reason, there
would have to be some old maids.
But some girls do not care to
marry; and very often there are
reasons, independent to their
choice, why they should not or
cannot. venture the opinion that
there is not one old maid in a hun
dred but could have been married,
oyer and again, had she desired.
Henry Ward Beecher said of old
maids that they were truly the
salt Of the earth, and would take
the highest seats in heaven. 1t is
the fault of education that an "old
maid" is held up to ridicule, and
referred to with opprobrium; but
surely Il woman who remains
single because her duty to others
demands it, is deserving Of the
highest praise-and scores of cases
come to my mind, while thinking
of these grand souls, where women
have remained unmarried to care
for aged parents, or bring up or
phan families; and equally is she
to be commended, who, from a
sense OF duty to herself, does not
marry because in the opportunities
offered she feels that she cannot
realize her ideal of true marriage,
and prefers rather to be called an
t"ols maid" than to under the
faaisery and loss of self.respect sure
to result from an uncongenial
union.
But, aside from the question of
marriage, all women, of whatever
class, should have some avocation
whereby they can earn an honest
diving, if need to do so comes.
Nearly all the industries, arts, and
professions are now open to them,
and those who are wise will choose
something for which nature has
best fitted them, that they may,
whether married or single, rich or
poor, grow all their lives in the
chosen direction.-Fyom Demorests

She was a little old woman, very

and her bonnet was very old-fash.
ioned, and people stared at her
tottering up the side of the grand
church, evidently bent ON securing
one of the best seats, for a great
man was to preach on that day,
and the house was filled with
splendidly dressed people who had
heard of the fame of the preacher,
of his learning, of his intellect and
goodness, and ut the presumption
of the old woman. She must have
been in her dOtage, for she picked
out the pew of the richest and
proudest member of the church
and took seat. The three ladies
who were seated there beckoned to
the sexton, who went over to the
intruder and whispered something,
but she was hard of hearing, and
smiled a little withered smile, as
she said gently:
"Oh, Pm quite comfortable here,
quite comfortable"
"But you are not wanted here"
said the sexton pompously. "There
is not room. Come with me, good
woman; will see that you have a
seat"
"Not roomw said the old woman
looking at her sunken proportions
and from them at the fine ladies.

The sexton took her by the arm,
and shook it in a polite, under
hand way, and she took the hint,
Her faded old eyes filed with
tears her chin quiyered, but she
rose meekiy and left the pew,
Turning quietly to the ladies, who
were spreading their rich dresses
over the spot she left vacant, she
said gently:
u hope, my dears, thsse will be

Then she followed the pompous
sexton to the rear OF the church,
where, in the last pew, she was
seated beside thread bare girl
and a shabby old man.

Cleveland's
Sweetheart.
Mrs.
First

Apropos of Mrs. Cleveland's love
affairs, there is pretty little story
not generally known, that her first
love was newspaper man. She
is said to have been deep interest
ed in him, but the engagement,
which existed for long time, was
finally broken off and never renew
ed. 1t is said that even now Mrs.
Cleveland has q weakness for the
profession, and, in fact, it is gener-
ally accepted that she takes a great
deal of interest in newspaper men
and their work. She regards with
special favor the lady correspond
ents attached to the bureaus of the
various papers in Washington, and
ip more than one instance she has
made a point of convesing with
them. Upon one occasion she went
so far as to gently chide one of the
young ladies for not speaking to
her on the street. At one time she
did some literary work herself.
Perhaps it is this keen interest
which Mrs. Cleveland naturally
feels in SO honorable profession,
and knowledge that she once low
ed one of them, that antedates all
other grievances in the Presidents
breast against them, and added a
double force of bitterness with
which he spoke of their "ghoulish
glee" at that memorable Harvard
dinner.-Bdltimore american.

Judge GrOghanss Early
Love.
[New Lexington Tribune


A correspondent of the Ohio State
>Jouraal makes the statement that
the late Judge Groghan was for a
year or more the finance of Mary
Sheridan, only sister of General
Phil Sheridan. This may or may
not have been the case. Certain it
is they were intimate friends and
SdSpaisers for that length of time, or
longer.
Once, whea Mr.. Groghan and
Miss Sheridan we're driving from
Logan to Somerset, in buggy, they
passed through The neighborhood
where Groghan had beef raised
and on passing st. Patrick's, the
horse was hitched, and the two
alighted and went into the ceme-
fiery. Going around from stone to
stone, and grave to grave, Groghan
stopped at the grave of a young
woman, who, he told Miss Sheri-
dan had been his early love, and
had she lived would have been his
wife. He further said that he did
not suppose he would ever feel to-
ward any other woman as he had
felt toward the dead girl. At Gro
ghan's request the two then knelt
down. spd together prayed beside
the crave 2f the girl he had loved
and lost.
This was a strange saepe, in a
country churchyard, but there can
be no doubt Of its occurrence. In
view of the lonely and cheerless,
and almost hermit life that Gro
CHAN subsequently led, these Incl
dents of other years will be of in
terest. GrQghan was himself bur-
led I'm the self same churchyard
where he had knelt with Miss Sher-
idan. Several years after the scene
hereinbefore described, Mary Sher-
idan was married to All estimable

years younger than herself She

Men Who Wear COrsets and
Hoops.

There are men who wear corsets.
II Is generally known that for
some time individuals of that men,
tai calibre have existed in limited
numbers. 1t remained, however,
for the present style of big.legged
breeches to bring qs still another
caper for the @daH" young men.
The boys have taken to wearing
hoopskirts. 1t takes q hoop skirt
for each leg and q hoop fastens at
the hips. They are used to keep
the btg-legged breeches in shape.
Bustles will probably come next
and then we may expect to see the
too utterly too-too young men with
birds on their hats.

Ten Things IL Baby Can Do.

1t can beat any alarm clock ever
invented waking II family up in
the morning.
Give it II fair show and it can
smash more dishes than the most
industrious servant-girl in the
country.
1t can fall down oftener and
with prOvocation than the most
expert tumbler in the circus-ring.
1t can make more genuine fuss
over a simple brass pin than it's
mother would over a broken back.
1t can choke itself black in the
face with greater ease than the
most accomplished wretch that was
ever executed.
1t can keep family in a constant
turmoil from morning till night,
and night till morning, without
once varying it's tune.
1t can be relied upon to sleep
peacefully all day when it's father
is down town and cry persistently
at night when he is particularly
sleepy.
1t may be the naughtiest, dirtiest,
ugliest, most fretful baby in all the
world, but you can never make it's
mother believe it, and you had bet
ter try it.
1t can be charming and model
infant when no one is around, but
when visitors are present it can
exhibit more bad temper than both
of its parents together.
1t can brighten up house bet
ter than all the furniture ever
made; make sweeter music than
the finest orchestra organized; fill
a larger place in it's parents breasts
than they knew they had, and
when it goes away it can cause a
greater vacancy and leave a great
er vacancy and leave. a greater
blank than all the rest of the world
put together.-Philadelphia Neys.

Another Story.About the Alleged Attempt to

Another Story about the Alleged Attempt to
Resurrect the Mormon Leader.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l-The Mormons in the
city watching the Edmunds anti-polygamy bill.
which has passed both branches of Congress and
is now in conference committee, are quite ex-
cited over the dispatches from Nebraska in to-
days papers, in regard to Brigham Youngs re-
ported scheme of resurrection. Delegate Caine,
of Utah, of course denies the story Of the old
man who had charge of the home near Lincoln.
and who claims to be the author of the story
about Brigham Young being concealed there.
Mr.. Caine says he saw the Mormon leader
buried, and placed in the tomb with ten-ton
stone over the entrance, and does not doubt but
that Brigham Young is dead.
But another story comes from a resident of
Utah. which adds to the remarkable story from
Nebraska, and makes one look upon it with some
consideration. The gentleman says that, as
every one knows, the death of Brigham Young
was most mysterious. The arrangements for
the funeral were conducted with the greatest
privacy. aud not until the body was laid out was
any one allowed to see it. NOV" said the gem
tleman from Utah, "the body in th6Dcoffin,
shown only to the few. was an ingeniously-pre
pared wax-fgure. Frenchman was brought
from France some time before the reported
death of Young, and set to work to make life
like head and body of the Mormon prophet. As
the figure was to represent him after death, the
Frenchman found it rather an easy job, and go
remarkably we'll was the work done that the fig
ure deceived many who saw it. When it came
time for Young to die this figure was prepared
for burial. The subsequent mysterious funeral
arragements, together with the strange
DEATH ali can be easily recalled
The Frenchman who made the wax
figure was shipped back to his native country.
The Mormons watched him we'll, but although
said the Utah citizen, "and it was published; but
the Mormons managed to keep it from wide Cir
culation We heard it in Utah, but the Nor
mons have managed to decry it. The real rea-
son for Youngs disappearance from the earth
was for resurrection The Mormons thought
that the United States government would give
them trouble over this. They made every ar
rangement for an exodus to Mexico. The lead
ers collected money and bought vast tract of
land and paid cash for it in gold. They intended
old Brigham Young to rise from the gra 70 I'd
to order the faithful to depart to Mexico. But,
alas! when the land bought was sought to be
prepared, it was found the Mexicans had
cheated them and sold them a lot of mountains
So great was the chagrin of the elders that the
exodus was postponed, and Brigham Young did
not rise."

Mrs. Cleveland Violates One of the Sacred
Rules, and Apologies Therefor.

Mrs. Cleveland Violates One of the Sacred
Rules, and Apologies Therefor.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-The Senate is very
careful that its prerogatves are not invaded by
the coordinate branches of the government. The
rules of the Senate must be obeyed by all,
irrespective of race. color or previous condition.
There is a rule forbidding spectators in the
Senate galleries from hanging their top-coat or
other garments over the iron ratings that pro-
tect the front row of seats, for fear that an
apple or some other concealed weapon might fall
upon the bald head of senatorial millionaire.
This prohibition is almost as old and quite as
sacred as the Mosaic law: in fact, the latter is
not SO strictly enforced in the Senate This
morning Mrs. Cleveland and young lady who
is her guest, went to the Capitol and took the
seat that is always kept vacant for the use of
the Presidents wife, should she at any time
favor the coordinate branch with the blessing
of her presence. Probably Mrs. Cleveland is
not familiar with the traditions of the Senate;
if she is, she unconsciously violated them by the
throwing OF her sealskin sacque, trimmed with
Russian sable, over the balustrade. There it
lay for several moments, until it was observed,
by one of the Arguses that protect the senatorial
dignity, who, trembling with emotion, strobe
down to the seat behind her and whispered in
her ear The Presidents wife grasped her
mantle promptly, threw it upon the seat behind
her, and, then, turning to the agitated Argus.
begged his pardon with smile that he will
carry around with him all the rest of his life.
